Hard engineering refers to the construction of physical structures to defend against erosive power of waves To protect a coast from erosion‚ people have built seawalls in front of a cliff or along the coast. A seawall is usually made of concrete. It acts as a buffer and absorbs energy of breaking waves especially during storms where the waves are strong‚ thus protecting the coast. A seawall shields and protects the coast from the direct impact of the incoming waves‚ thus reducing erosion. However

Why then are academics so wary about the use of Wikipedia within universities? There are a number of related reasons. Before outlining them we should acknowledge that there may be differences according to academic discipline in attitudes towards Wikipedia. Speaking to academics from the natural and medical sciences over the last year‚ it seems that those subjects are less concerned with issues of originality of source than the arts and social sciences. It also may be [pic] and this is genuine speculation

Topic: Use of Closed-Circuit Television to Determine Road Accident in Lipa City This paper sets out to assess whether there is a potential use for images collected through the increasingly ubiquitous use of CCTV cameras in Lipa City as a means of increasing understanding of the causes of road traffic accidents. Information on causation and contributory factors is essential as a means of understanding why accidents occurred and how the occurrence of similar events may be prevented in the future

since a young age we are told about the many harmful effects of smoking and why we should stay away from it‚ but as we grow older we find that a majority of people are addicted to it and beyond redemption. This stems from the fact that cigarettes are a huge source of revenue for the Government‚ and try as they may‚ they cannot cover up the fact that cigarettes provide huge income for them. It is for this reason alone‚ that smoking will never be banned by the Government‚ in spite of so many people

Mechanical Engineering students should expect to find careers in manufacturing‚ fabrication‚ research and development‚ and service industries. The students should be very capable in mathematics and the physical sciences. This is essential to be successful in any engineering field. Mechanical engineers should be mechanical inclined and should be able to think “outside the box”. The students should be a great problem solver and critical thinker‚ and also be a calm and laid back person that can handle
